Course Highlights
The course layout consistently earns praise for its rolling hills, moguls, and long fairways that create a genuinely challenging round. Friendly staff and reasonable rates make this a smart alternative to pricier options in the Phoenix area.

Located a short distance from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix and Arizona State University, Kokopelli Golf Course is a championship length course that offers many interesting challenges. The rolling terrain creates sloping greens and undulating fairways. A majority of the teeboxes and greens are elevated as well. The course also has large multiple island tees and water hazards in the form of meandering lakes that come into play on several holes. The signature hole of Kokopelli Golf Course is the par-5 18th hole. The dramatic finishing hole calls for a shot off an elevated too followed by an approach shot past water to an elevated green.

Course was super rough

Play here a couple times a month. Recently there seems to be very little upkeep. A lot of brown grass, weeds, downed brush and tree limbs. Can be a nice course at a reasonable price if maintained.

Under new ownership?

No sand in the bunkers throughout the entire course hardly any grass in the fairways.

Definitely not worth $50; i wouldn't complain if it was $25 as that is what should be charged for the condition it is in.

Frustrating day

I normally enjoy playing Kokopelli in the summer as the staff is friendly and I can get a quick round in. However today was an exception. When I got to the course I found out that the front nine was closed and I had to play the back nine twice. That alone wasn't too bad. But when I teed off as a single due to the hot weather and sparse number of players in the afternoon, I was behind another single and a twosome in front of him. The twosome let the first single play through on the second hole, but they never let me play through. Therefore I had to wait on most every shot. Also, my cart died on the fourteenth hole. Fortunately there was a single behind me, and he allowed me to load my stuff onto his cart so I could finish the round. It turned out to be a frustrating day. So different than my usual round at this course.

First and last time

Instead of writing a paragraph about all the different things wrong with this course I instead chose: don’t waste your time. Pick literally anywhere else.

Trash

If you’re looking for a challenging, yet fun to play course, look elsewhere. If you are looking for bunkers that have no sand and lines with clay, fairways that mimic a prepubescent trend face, foul smelling ponds that lack water but have ample dead fish, you’ve come to the right place.

Very frustrating round here. You can hit the ball down the center only to find your ball in standing water. It’s like they used the water from the lakes to water the wrong areas of this course. The fairways are spotty at best w green grass. The greens are decent.

For 60$ a head, you can find so much better

Don’t waste your time

It was my first time playing this course. Went in with an open mind and hoping for the best due to the previous reviews I read. Let me just say the negative reviews were not wrong. This course is poorly maintained, the layout is weird, and the greens are unpredictable especially the awkward hole placements. I will not recommend to any friends or family in the future unless I don’t like them. Will not be going back to

This course.

Needs some attention

The course isn’t horrible but the fairways are burnt and cut too short. Bunkers are unplayable. Greens were in fairly good shape

So much potential

The staff was excellent and I thought the course had a good layout with some very fun holes. The greens were fast and the slopes challenging and the tee boxes were nice but the fairways were rough. Where they had grass it was nice condition but 50-60% of it was bare dirt and the course had just been watered so it was hard mud. The sand traps looked rough as well, I spent a majority of the day in the fairway but looked like I had been mud wrestling by the time I was finished. Despite that it is a fun and scoreable course just be prepared to be dirty no matter where you hit it.

Good deal for a summer round

I arrived about 30 minutes before my tee time and the staff let me go out early since they were not busy. I thought the greens were in good shape, and the fairways were decent given the hot summer temperatures. However if you were off of the fairways, grass was a bit sparse at times. I personally enjoy the layout, and play this course regularly.
